For the exercise I focused on four of the compositional techniques; directional lines, negative space, balance, and movement. For the thumbnails, I attempted different concepts to express/show the techniques in a unique way. Many of the thumbnails were inspired/recreated from past artwork. For the concept sketches, I decided to showcase three of the compositional techniques expanding on the strongest thumbnails from each.

The concept sketches showcase asymmetrical balance, directional lines, and compositional movement respectively.
